i dont get how this benefits potential and current sprint customers.?
is that price based getting a contract with cellular south? or thats just the price of the phone itself?
That's the new contract price with Cellular South.
I think he meant Sprint's version of the Hero. I updated the article to be a bit more clear.
Whats the price without contact .. is it cheaper than sprint 399 …..
